Decorative Floating Shelves

Decorative floating shelves. You can make these whatever size you'd like, but I'm going to leave the exact measurements and parts that. You will need a wooden board, ripped plastic anchors corner braces, mending plates screws, a screwdriver and a drill, I've drilled, four holes two on each wall, then because there were no beams where I drilled, I placed an anchor in the holes and followed with screwing on a corner, brace after all, four were in place.

It was time to make the shelf. I took two pieces of wood and attached them with a mending plate after the shelf was together. I place it on the corner, braces and secured it with some screws through the bottom of each one. These shelves are pretty sturdy, but I wouldn't recommend placing anything extremely heavy on them. Next, I'm going to show you how to make this really cute watercolor piece.

You will need a small canvas letter, stickers, watercolors and a paintbrush for this. I spelled out good vibes with my stickers and then I use some watercolor paint and paint it on and around the letters when the paint was dry. I removed the stickers and ended up with this really cool looking piece. Next, I'm going to show you how to make a wire cactus. You will need wire, a small clay, pot, glue, gun tape, paper, and a sharpie. I started by drawing the shape of the cactus. I want it on a piece of paper, then I took some wire and start to bend it to the shape I drew.

While I was bending the wire I secured it down with some tape, it's much easier to mold the wire like this than to completely freehand. It next I took the small pot, filled it up with some hot glue and placed my wire cactus inside when it was secure. I took a folded piece of wire and secured it around the top to create the centerpiece. Then I replicated the size of the cactus and fold the ends of the wire so that they would hook onto the middle piece. And, lastly, I filled the pot with some rocks to cover up the glue. Lastly, I'm going to show you how you can transfer photos onto wood, you will need a wooden plaque, a photo printed, awesome computer paper, a gel medium, a rag, and a paintbrush start by applying a thick layer of gel medium onto the wood.
